Don’t know if they’d be able to recapture the old casting magic though. Original actors are getting kinda old. Nathan Fillion looks puffy in the few episodes of “Castle” I’ve seen.

First time I’ve been inside a movie theater in many years.

Looong movie, but a good one. Excellent in fact, to my surprise. They finally made a movie worthy of its special effects. Good characters, great writing.

If you see The Avengers, stay for the full credits, then one minute after the credits end. My ride got the tip and it was worth it. 99% of the audience at my showing missed it.

Still doesn’t change what I wrote in my first comment.

Pure patriotic goodness! So I’d give Whedon the benefit of the doubt on that one. Yes, he’s a lib, but he keeps it under control for his big projects. IMHO.

If you check out Joss’s letter at the end of Buffy #40, this phrase kind of jumps out to me: “There is never progress without hateful, reactionary blowback. That’s never been more apparent than in today’s political scene in America.” Whedon’s just another lib, man. http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/228/ending-buffy-season-8

Serenity 2, as a launch vehicle for series restart.

Two by two, hands of blue.

It may also have been referencing some jerk writer at Marvel trying to get Captain America into the social justice pablum. I think it was 3 or 4 years ago they tried to push that garbage on to the readers.

It was billed as a parody of horror movies up to that point. I was disappointed when the show didn’t follow in it’s footsteps.

First, Whedon more likely than not misspends his Golden Ticket, as Moe put it. Second, I’m going to be very very happy that he did so.

I mean, I got to the review eventually via Rotten Tomatoes, via Hot Air, but that link should have gone to the Houston Press review. Anyway: link fixed and reproduced below.

Paul Reubens’ death scene during the end credits was HILARIOUS.
